The Entry is the best. 250 capacity. Saw John Doe there. Biffy Clyro about a month before they played the O2 in London. Valient Thorr. So many others. Legendary bathroom.

#OnThisDay 1986 Sid and Nancy, the biopic about the #SexPistols' #SidVicious, premieres. A doomed love story by #AlexCox about the legendary #punk era. #GaryOldman is tremendous as Vicious and turns the "live fast, die young" motto into a poisonous romance turned up to eleven.
